Expand Your Sense of Wonder with a Mindful Look at a 17th Century Painting

Mindful Looking invites you to spend a relaxed and focused 45 minutes with a single work of art. Together we carefully examine the artwork's composition, details, and style, and then consider potential meanings. The benefits of slower processing are heightened awareness, expanded wonder, and stronger engagement of the mind.

#Whiskywednesday feat. Connoisseurs Choice Mannochmore 16: "Mannochmore has a short unromantic history compared to other Speyside distilleries. Built in 1971 on the same property as the Glenlossie distillery, Mannochmore's original purpose was to supply malt whisky for the Haig blends. For more than three decades the two distilleries even shared employees. Shut down in the second half of the '80s when rough times hit the Scotch industry, Mannochmore's distillery was shut down again in 1995, then reopened the following year. Diageo currently uses 100% of the distillery's output in blends.
Connoisseurs Choice is one of Gordon & Macphail's longest running brands. What has made Connoisseurs (no apostrophe) Choice great is that it has allowed whisky fans to try single malts from nearly every single distillery, especially those distilleries that do not have their own official releases.
The nose has an entertaining mix of fruit and industrial stuff. Pears, peaches, canned fruit cocktail, and lychee candy meet plaster, paint VOC, and a hint of moldy basement. There are also some small notes of caramel and balsamic vinegar.
The palate has a bit of heat to it, but it's also big on fruits and fruit candy. Lime, pineapple, pears, and fresh ginger. Steady sweetness throughout and also that cayenne-like burn.
There's a hint of coffee in the otherwise sweet finish. Gummy bears, lemons, limes, in-season apples, and ginger read loudest. "

This Artsy article sheds light on the qualities that make a monochrome painting good: http://bit.ly/2oXcBqW

What Makes a Monochrome Painting Good?

Rodchenko found inspiration in the work of Russian artist Kazimir Malevich, who introduced his Black Square painting in 1915. (100 years later, researchers discovered that underneath the composition, Malevich scrawled a reference to a 1882 work by Paul Bilhaud, the first-ever documented monochrome: "Battle of negroes in a dark cave."

In celebration of Denver’s Month of Printmaking, Mai Wyn Fine Art presents Locus featuring new work by printmakers Fawn Atencio and Sharon Strasburg. Both artists utilize traditional printmaking processes and environmental inspiration as a point of departure for more experimental abstract works.
Meet the two artists at the opening reception during Third Friday Collectors' Night on March 16, 5-9 p.m.!

I am up: The odd hours of a museum installer

We're all happy to have jobs, but sometimes that morning alarm is not our friend. For some people, that alarm sounds off much earlier than most. Going to the museum and seeing all those cool dinosaurs and ancient pictures is catching to the eye - but how do they get there?

Eight Arty Things to Do and See This Weekend

EXPAND Kendra Fleischmann, "The Little Chapel of Our Holy Motherboard." Courtesy of Kendra Fleischman and Denver Digerati This weekend in Denver galleries, you'll find a rich grab bag of shows: some at co-ops, some related to the ongoing Denver Month of Printmaking, some of them invitations to be one with the art, some traditional and others anything but.

#Whiskywednesday feat. Killyloch 1967 Limited Edition: We opened up the specialty cabinet for this special edition.
The Whiskyexchange.com descibes it as:
Rarely seen as a single malt, Killyloch was the name for spirit made from a pair of stills at the Moffat complex, which also produced Glen Flagler and Garnheath. Made from the last casks belonging to the distillery's owners, this was distilled in 1967, aged for 36 years and bottled in 2003.
Only 371 bottles were made.
This whisky sets Pints Pub apart, we are very proud to be able to offer this rare expression.
